About El Tamarindo

El Tamarindo offers super tasty food, delicious cocktails, and excellent service. Despite some issues with lighting and acoustics, the ambiance is great. Known for their STRONG MARGS and DELICIOUS chicken tacos, especially on Taco Tuesday, the restaurant features an extensive menu with affordable combo meals. The family-friendly venue is open late and serves fresh, authentic food. The staff is bilingual, making it easy to communicate with everyone. Vegan options are available for those with dietary restrictions.

Customers have enjoyed experiences like the pupusa making class, which was fun with friendly and helpful staff. They also appreciated the delicious dinner, pitcher of margaritas, and the pupusas made during the class. The tacos on Taco Tuesday are dressed with lettuce, pico, sour cream, and shredded cheese, and the wide variety of protein options is a highlight.

The frozen lime margarita has a solid kick and balanced fruit flavor, while the mango version is sweeter. The guacamole dip features queso fresco for a rich texture. The beef empanadas are a standout, praised for their crispy shell and flavorful filling paired with a creamy green sauce. El Tamarindo is a must-visit spot in DC for a great dining experience, with excellent service making it a place worth returning to.
